I became a god by treasure hunting after arriving 500 years early-Chapter 326 - 248 - This Battle is Secure! _2

Fortunately, the enemy’s weight was not very high. With a swing of the stick, it knocked them to the ground, and with a few more fierce hits, the effect was surprisingly good.

The monster let out a heart-wrenching roar in the dark fog, attempting to influence the humans with its spiritual power.

However, everyone ignored it, with only one thought in their minds: hammer them to death!

...

"It seems we can fight!"

"We can hold them off!" Sha Kan’er and others had bloodshot eyes, like a mob hammering at corpses, not even satisfied with that, they brutally pulverized them into minced meat.

Even the newly joined "Xu Pengfei" held his weapon with a murderous look on his face—he was overjoyed, it was really great that Sky City still had things like this.

Lu Yuan wiped the sweat from his forehead. He didn’t want to suffer too many casualties and issued several commands.

"Fight while retreating. Don’t get entangled in battle!"

"There are many of them. Save your strength!"

"There are Insect Soldiers hiding in the oil depot behind us, waiting for the right moment."

"We are going to lure more enemies into the sewers and trap them."

"Brothers, try hard to survive."

"Kill!"

The brutal battle took place in the narrow sewers.

The human side fought while retreating, with close combat teams and shooting teams cooperating.

The human skin monsters, though intelligent, possessed rather ordinary close combat abilities.

For the time being, they had no good way to deal with the smoky sewers.

However, the mastermind behind the scenes didn’t seem to care too much about the life or death of these monsters and just let them charge wildly.

Perhaps, compared to the 34 Points of God’s treasures and the dying Opium poppy tree, these sacrifices were negligible.

"Old Lu, the Opium poppy tree is under heavy attack," Old Cat’s voice suddenly came through the headset.

"How is the battle going?"

"Not bad... there are still three pounds of nails in a rotten boat."

The sky-filling human skin bat-like creatures were whipped away as soon as they touched the Opium poppy tree.

Their spiritual attacks had no effect on this huge tree.

After all, the Opium poppy tree itself had no intelligence or soul.

"Looking at the situation, they don’t seem to have a way to deal with the Opium poppy tree for now. More monsters are still rushing into the sewers trying to capture the Conch. I reckon there are already over twenty thousand," Old Cat continued.

"And some are biting through the energy circuits all over the place, bringing the city down."

Lu Yuan said, "It’s fine. We were planning to lower the city anyway, to lure in their main forces, and then let the insects eradicate them."

Old Cat then said, "My point is, with the way they fearlessly charge to their deaths, the real mastermind probably isn’t among these monsters..."

"Even if you send an army of Insect Soldiers to trap and annihilate them all, it won’t mean much."

Lu Yuan was silent for a moment, then sighed, "That’s all we can do for now, deplete their living forces. Winning a battle is always right... They won’t be able to produce so many minions in a short time."

Old Cat said, "But after all their pawns are dead and the main body simply runs away, what do you plan to do next?"

"Sky City’s technology and methods of combat have been exposed. This unknown entity, possessing a high level of intelligence, is unlikely to give up here and will certainly return with a vengeance."

"Moreover, their ability is ’Spirit Word,’ which can easily break through defenses. You can guard against a thief for a thousand days, but how long can you truly be safe?"

Lu Yuan’s brows furrowed deeply.

The ’Spirit Word’ ability was terrifying, and with just one sentence, it could bewitch a person’s mind.

In the long run, it was almost impossible to defend completely.

And humans indeed needed to recuperate here.

The reservoir had not yet been replenished with water, and the next generation of talent had not yet been cultivated. They had to rest here for a while and could not just run away.

"You mean I need to find that monster’s true form and then kill it?" Lu Yuan swallowed hard, frowning, "But where is it? How do I find it?"

Old Cat said, "I just analyzed that parchment Xu Pengfei gave us."

"I think the anomaly most likely appeared within the Safe Zone."

"Because the problem of the abnormal population decline occurred before the Safe Zone was established."

"The Mandala Empire is a typical Second Generation Civilization, I suspect remnants of an anomaly from a previous Epoch."

"This anomaly broke through its sealing and escaped, leading to this disaster... so we can go to the capital city of the Empire to search for the true form of the anomaly."

Lu Yuan’s body shook, a bitter look on his face: "An intelligent anomaly, could it be another ’Demon’? It’s very difficult for me to kill a ’Demon’..."

He was about to curse in frustration, wondering where all these ’Demons’ kept coming from, one after another.

"No, it shouldn’t be. If it were a ’Demon’, its intelligence would be even higher," Old Cat said, "Think about how many mistakes our opponent has made."

"Just hearing about the 34 Points of God Conch, it went mad, lost all reason, and sent an army to attack."

"If it were a ’Demon’, even if greedy, it would proceed more cautiously, seeking a surer strategy and not be so easily deceived."

Lu Yuan swallowed again, thinking it seemed to make sense.

"So it’s some other anomaly causing mischief? Like the Undying Giant Turtle, which has intelligence but not a high one..." Your next read is at novelbuddy

Suddenly, a shout came through the earpiece: "Captain Lu, we’re barely holding up! We’ve retreated near the Central Shelter! No room left to retreat!"

Lu Yuan’s expression turned stern: "Close the Central Shelter’s alloy gates."

"I’ll have the Insect Soldiers enter the sewers now, for a caged bird operation!"

Lu Yuan initiated a Spatial Teleportation, moving instantly from the sewer to the surface.

In an instant, more than a dozen bat-like creatures with human skin discovered him and launched a Spiritual attack.

"Different Space!" Lu Yuan’s mind shivered, immediately evading the attack.

Immediately after, vines from the Opium poppy surged with force, stirring a wild wind and turning those creatures into minced meat.

"Damn, these numbers..."

With the protection of the Opium poppy, Lu Yuan, bracing himself, charged into the oil warehouse where the Insect Race was.

These guys were still gorging themselves.

"King!" The Worm King · Lu Xiao, who was guarding the place, bowed; it had been waiting here for a long time, already eager for battle on hearing the outside conflict

"Warriors, the time has come to enter the battlefield," Lu Yuan shouted loudly, taking out a clump of Sealing Resin and applying a protective layer on the heads of a few big fellows.

He then handed out a few Resin smoke bombs to the Worm King: "Not many left, use them sparingly, but don’t be stingy at critical moments, let the brothers die a few less."

"Yes!"

The noise of wind, roars, gunfire, and occasional sounds of artillery shelled the chaotic scene, but these ferocious lot seemed really reliable.

Lu Yuan’s eyes flashed red as he issued the "Control" command: "I command! Defend our city, kill the invaders!!"

"Wah-ga-ga!" The insects, odd in shape and form, roared in unison.

These biological warfare machines charged out boldly and vigorously!

After all, they were only born on the first day, so their size hadn’t grown too large yet, just enough to enter the sewers.

In just a moment, the sewage system turned into the bloodiest meat grinder!

With their numerical advantage, these flesh creatures could bully human soldiers with ease, but in such a cramped space, fighting these killing-trained insects was like slaughtering lambs!

Their Spiritual attack, amidst the thick Sealing smoke, also struggled to cover the "Control" command.

The Insect Soldiers were ecstatic, grabbing those monsters and stuffing them into their mouths frantically, eating them alive!

They had never enjoyed such high-quality food before!

Blood splattered on the sewer walls, painting this narrow space into a human-made Hell.

Lu Yuan watched with his heartbeat racing, his eyes wide: "This battle, we’ve got this!"
